Your Questions, Answered
Contractors, surveyors, and property owners dealing with asbestos risks may require specialist cover. Property owners will need to have their property surveyed and the surveyor will need the insurance.
Policies can cover legal costs, remediation, and third-party claims related to asbestos exposure.
Some policies can include protection against historical claims, depending on the cover arranged.
If you work with asbestos, liability cover may be required under health and safety regulations.
Generally, home insurance does not cover the cost of asbestos removal. Most home insurance policies exclude coverage for pollution, which includes asbestos. However, if asbestos is disturbed due to a covered peril, such as a fire or storm damage, a policy might cover the costs of removal as part of the repair process. It’s best to check your specific policy for details.
Finding insurance companies that cover asbestos siding can be challenging because most insurers consider asbestos to be a high-risk material. However, at Brown & Brown, we offer specialist asbestos insurance that specifically covers against the risks associated with asbestos.

Yes, you can get home insurance with asbestos siding, but it might be more challenging and expensive. Since asbestos is considered a high-risk material, many insurers aren’t able to offer suitable coverage. This means you’re likely to need specialist coverage.
Yes, it is possible to get public liability insurance if you have asbestos in your property. However, the presence of asbestos may affect the terms and costs of your policy. It’s also likely that insurers will require a detailed risk assessment of the property and could impose certain conditions or exclusions relating to asbestos. It’s important to disclose the presence of asbestos when applying for insurance to ensure appropriate coverage.
At Brown & Brown, we offer bespoke asbestos insurance policies that protect against the risks associated with asbestos. To learn more about specialist asbestos insurance, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
